Offering Prayer

(inspired by Luke 24:13-35)

Like
the disciples at Emmaus,
we offer what we have.
They offered their company,
their table, their bread.
We invite you to be with us, Jesus,
as we offer you our love,
our devotion, these gifts.May our eyes be openedto your holy presence
among us, now and always.
Amen.

About Me

The author Frederick Buechner once defined ‘vocation’ as “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” I think I’m living that definition. I’ve spent the last three decades studying, pastoring, teaching and writing about worship, looking for ways to strengthen and deepen our corporate conversations with God. I’m still not sure how I landed up on this journey, and it certainly hasn’t always been easy. But I’ve never been able to escape the conviction that this is where God wants me, and this is the work I need to be doing.
